Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 396 Falling off the cliff

Hua Niang smiled broadly upon hearing this: "Don't worry, Master. Everyone has been doing as you said. They didn't stop even on the way here. They study, exercise, take medicine, and practice their special skills every day."

"Okay." Yunyi nodded. "Don't go out during this period. Our Fengyun Yayuan will be opening soon. Before that, don't let anyone see you, otherwise it will lose its mystery. I will inform you of the specific opening date after I have calculated it."

"I understand." Hua Niang nodded vigorously, then hesitated.

"Speak directly if you have anything to say."

"Master, does that mean the girls won't have to...sleep with you anymore?" Hua Niang lowered her voice.

"You still want to sleep with other people?" Yunyi frowned.

"No, I was just asking. Everyone's still uneasy." Hua Niang hurriedly waved her hand. "No one would want to sleep with those men if they could live a clean life."

"Then what are you still hesitating about? I don't want my men to get infected with venereal diseases."

"Yes." The flower girl breathed a sigh of relief.

"Of course, if we really find someone we like and can get married, I will send a dowry. However, before the two of us can share a bed, we must have a medical check-up with me. If there are no diseases, then we can talk."

"Thank you." Hua Niang's eyes were red.

"Alright, go back now. Don't come over unless it's absolutely necessary. I'll come find you, or send someone over." Yun Yi waved her hand, then suddenly beckoned again, "Wait, when you get back, change all the girls' names too. Names like Apricot Blossom and Pear Blossom are names used by girls in the brothel. Let them choose new names themselves, or they can use their original names. If they don't know their surnames, they can think of one, or I can help them think of one when I get there." She wanted to open an elegant entertainment venue, not a vulgar brothel for sleeping.

Hua Niang paused for a moment, then her eyes suddenly reddened: "Master, this might be a bit troublesome."

"Hmm?" Yunyi looked up. "Trouble? Is any of you a descendant of a criminal or... a family member?"

Hua Niang was surprised: "Um..." She didn't know how to finish her sentence.

"It doesn't matter. Since I dare to say it, I can protect you." Yun Yi smiled. "Besides, there are many people with the same name, so there's no need to think too much about it."

Hua Niang nodded, then took her leave.

Longxi City Defense Camp.

Jing Han sat on the drill ground, with the military doctor Xie Chao and his grandson kneeling in front of him.

"Commander, I'm innocent!" Xie Chao shouted. "I'm a military doctor, I've always been conscientious and diligent, how could I be a spy? Besides, my granddaughter has always been in love with you, you can't..."

Lan Yi directly held up a letter: "Our lord will not wrong anyone." He then threw the letter in front of Xie Chao. "Although you are not a spy, your son and daughter-in-law are loyal to Bei Liang. And your granddaughter... Heh, she almost killed our lord last time. What are you still trying to deny?"

Xie Chao picked up the letter and glanced at it, then immediately deflated. His lips moved, but he couldn't say anything.

Xie Qingluan's face turned pale. Looking at the situation before her, she suddenly straightened up: "Don't listen to his nonsense. The one who has been in contact with Beiliang all along is Huo Qingyuan. I have evidence. He is the one who is colluding with the enemy and betraying the country..."

Upon hearing this, the entire training ground fell silent, and everyone looked at Jing Han in astonishment.

"You're talking nonsense." Jing Han suddenly stood up. "You..."

“I can testify.” Just then, Deputy Commander Gu Tao approached with a group of men. “Lord Huo, you have embezzled public funds and committed treason. What is your punishment?”

Jing Han trembled with rage: "Gu Tao, you are ungrateful, you..."

“I have witnesses here,” Gu Tao said, waving his hand.

A person was brought forward, and it was clear that he was not from the Great Zhou.

"Lord Huo, save me!" the man shouted as soon as he arrived. "My general sent me to deliver a message to you. You can't abandon me."

"Nonsense." Jing Han drew his sword directly. "Gu Tao, are you trying to usurp power?"

“I have already reported your crimes to the court. Your crime of colluding with the enemy and betraying the country is true. Why don’t you surrender?” Gu Tao also drew his sword. “Brothers, we lost the battle against Beiliang before. The reason was that this Lord Huo had a very good relationship with Mu Li, the general of Beiliang. They even called each other brothers. Some people saw Mu Li visiting the Huo residence.”

"Bullshit." Jing Han was about to rush over.

Another person was brought up; it was the steward of the Huo family.

"Master, this servant deserves to die." The steward looked utterly desperate. "But this servant doesn't want to be a traitor, doesn't want to be a slave of a conquered nation." With that, he smashed his head against a wall and died.

"These are the letters found in the study, Lord Huo. What else do you have to say?" Gu Tao said, throwing a stack of letters over as well.

A nearby general bent down, picked it up, glanced at it, and immediately trembled with rage: "You hit someone! How could you..."

"Kill the traitor!" Gu Tao shouted as he seized the opportunity.

Thus, what was originally Jing Han judging Xie Chao and his grandson suddenly became the one being judged.

"You want to rebel? Gu Tao, you are the culprit." Jing Han said as he attacked Gu Tao.

The blue ones and blue two behind them also joined in.

The situation suddenly became chaotic.

Huo Qingyuan's personal guards have all turned against him.

Jing Han and his two companions were completely outnumbered and could only fight and retreat. However, they soon found themselves with nowhere left to retreat to, as there was a cliff behind them.

"Lord Huo, just surrender," Gu Tao sneered. "Perhaps the imperial court will show leniency."

"Gu Tao, you framed me." Jing Han looked at Gu Tao. "The Qian family are the traitors. Your Gu family has long been in cahoots with them. I just didn't expect you to frame me."

A hint of guilt flashed in Gu Tao's eyes, but the situation quickly calmed him down: "Lord Huo, don't try to deny it. The evidence is all there. No matter how much you try to deny it, it won't change the fact that you're a traitor. Just surrender. Perhaps out of consideration for our past as colleagues, we can leave you with a whole body."

"Stop with the nice talk. You're the one pulling the strings, aren't you?" Jing Han sneered. "You're the one who colluded with the enemy, yet you're pinning the blame on me. You're desperate for my position as commander, aren't you?"

"Say what you will, but you can't escape today." Gu Tao laughed. "Since you don't know what's good for you, then... die." He waved his hand as he spoke.

Archers immediately followed.

"Release it." Gu Tao waved his hand.

Arrows flew past like rain in an instant.

Jing Han exchanged a glance with one of the generals behind Gu Tao, then brandished his sword to block the arrows. Unfortunately, the three of them were outnumbered and forced to the edge of the cliff, where they fell off.
